This volume offers an indispensable survey from a contemporary viewpoint that reflects the new preoccupations of European historiography and allows the history of Dutch Jewry to be more integrated with that of other European Jewish histories. Historians from both older and newer generations shed significant light on all eras, providing fresh detail that reflects changed emphases and perspectives.  In addition to such traditional subjects as the Jewish community’s relationship with the wider society and its internal structure, its leaders, and its international affiliations, new topics explored include the socio-economic aspects of Dutch Jewish life seen in the context of the integration of minorities more widely; a reassessment of the Holocaust years and consideration of the place of Holocaust memorialization in community life; and the impact of multiculturalist currents on Jews and Jewish politics. Memory studies, diaspora studies, postcolonial studies, and digital humanities all play their part in providing the fullest possible picture.   This wide-ranging scholarship is complemented by a generous plate section with eighty fully captioned colour illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews‘This volume features new research and, more importantly, new historiographic perspectives about how to write the history of the Jews in Europe.  Because it is very sensitive to issues with which historians of other Jewish communities grapple - for example, the place of Holocaust memorialization in community life, the impact of multicultural politics, Israel and Zionism - it has the potential to move the history of Dutch Jewry into closer conversation with other European Jewish histories.’ \u003cbr\u003eTodd Endelman, Professor Emeritus of History and Judaic Studies, University of Michigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Two decades have passed since the last history of the Jews of the Netherlands was published, and the editors of the present volume have taken great care to ensure that the main points of the substantial amount of new research on the history and culture of Dutch Jewry have been incorporated.'\u003cbr\u003eJonathan I. Israel, Emeritus Professor of European History, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This welcome new volume positions the history of the Jews of the Netherlands squarely in the contemporary historiographical landscape. It is persuasive as to how and why it has something to say to the broader field, and why it should be seen as an integral part of that field.'\u003cbr\u003eDavid Rechter, Professor of Modern Jewish History, University of Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘This new overview of Dutch Jewish history reflects changes and turns in historical approaches as well as the growth of research on multiple aspects of Dutch Jewish history… This rich book will undoubtedly remain the most authoritative textbook on the history of Dutch Jewry for many years to come. It is wholeheartedly recommended.’ Dan Michman, \u003cem\u003eCanadian Journal of Netherlandic Studies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Reappraising the History of the Jews in the Netherlands is a substantially balanced and nuanced book. It carefully places the history of Dutch Jewry in a general Dutch and international Jewish context, demonstrating that Jewish identity, and belonging, are never fixed, but fluid, constantly evolving. Everyone interested in or studying Dutch Jewish history should consider this book a starting point.’ Sietske van der Veen, Journal of Modern Jewish Studies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of illustrationsEditorial noteList of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction IVO SCHÖFFER\u003cbr\u003e1.
